The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is seeking grant applications for the Title V Competitive Sexual Risk Avoidance Education (SRAE) Program. This federal grant opportunity aims to fund projects that implement sexual risk avoidance education for youth ages 10-19, focusing on teaching participants to voluntarily refrain from non-marital sexual activity. Applicants must develop programs that use medically accurate information, implement evidence-based approaches, and teach personal responsibility, self-regulation, and healthy decision-making. Key requirements include creating culturally appropriate, age-appropriate educational content that discourages sexual coercion, dating violence, and other youth risk behaviors. The application deadline is July 22, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET, with an expected project start date of September 29, 2025.

The total program funding is $3,683,467, with 16 expected awards ranging from $13,501 to $450,000 per award. The grant will support a 2-year project period consisting of two 1-year budget periods. Eligible applicants include county and city governments, school districts, public and private higher education institutions, Native American tribal organizations, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, and small businesses. Performance locations are expected to be diverse, encompassing urban and rural communities across multiple states and territories, with a focus on implementing sexual risk avoidance education programs for youth populations.
